`Beit known that I, ALBERT lV. BunmrNc., 'a citizen of the United States. residing at SterlingQin the county` of ylV-hitesidc and State of lllinois, have invented` anew and useful Improvement in @il Burners, of.

` 'which the `"following is a specification.

of Fig. 2'; Fig.` 2 .is a vertical longitudinal section o the li11e242 of Fig. 1; p

` Fig;` 3 is a plan `View on the line 3 of Fig. 2;

-t .is the same with the plates re-` .moved y"Fig, a partialsection on the line 5 of Fig. 3; and

` Fig.` (i is a of' Fig. 3. V

llhedevice as illustrated comprises a support' 1() haring two opposed longitudinal slots 11 through which the oil pipes 12 may be. moved. `The lower end of the oil pipe 12 threaded and screwed intoa hollow block 1?) `which has an ear 14. which is secured to the support 10 by means of bolts 15.

`The upper surface of the supportY 10 has a vertical wall 1G, which surrounds a depresi'ertical section onthe line sion or sump 17 adapted to hold fuel oil for a purpose which will later be explained and i which is preferably filled with a non-combustible material 18.7as shown in Fig. 3. A `removableplate 19 has a lip 20 which overlaps the side walls 1G and has a foot 21 (Fig. 2) which restsupon the support 10. 1 One of these plates is ln'eferably provided for each of the oil pipes 12. In the preferred form of double burner shown, the two plates 19 serve as a support for thehollow dome 22 which has legs 23 `which stand upon the plates 19. This dome has a substantially flat top in which are 'forn'led slots 24, adapted to receive the oil 4)iiipcs 12. These slots project outwardly from the oil pipes and terminate in enlarged openings 25 in which are loosely fitted tubes 2(5.9whieh hare flanges 27 at their upper ends. by which the tubes are supported lwithin the dome. The slots 24 have lateral enlargements 28, whichperm'it the dome to be shifted sidewise` for the `purpose of assemf bling` and disassembling the parts as will laterbe explained. The oil pipes 12 preferably terminatein curved ends 121, which are turned so as to overlie the tubes 26. The ends of these tubes are 'closed by means of plugs 29 and' each tube is provided with au orifice 30, which lies inimediately over the center of its tube 26.

The method of operation ofthe 4burner is asfollows i Oil is conducted to the burner from a suitable source, not shown, which isunder pressure through a pipe 31 and is led through a controlling valve 82 to the oil pipe 12. The valve 32 is first opened so as to permit oil tobe forced through the orifice 30 through the tube 2G to the plate 19. fact that this plate slopes toward the sump 17'.y oil ,will flow thereto. This oil which impregnates the asbestos 18 is ignited and the heat generated thereby heats the dome 22 and thererticalm section of the pipe 12. Then from the operators experience he deems that the burner is heated sufficiently to cause it to generate,` he slowly opens the "alte 32 when the gasified oil 4will be forced throughthe orifice 30 into the tube 26. As this stream of gasified oil is projected into the tube 2G, it. .will carry with it a large quant-ity of air which will mix with the gasified oil and the two will burn in the tube 26 and within the dome 22, the products of combustion being forced out around thebottom' of' the dome 22. Either of the pipes 12 may be used alone, or both may be caused `to operateat the same time. one has been in operation for a little while it will heat the other pipe so as to cause it to begin generating as soon as its controlling valve 32 is opened.

To disassemble the burner the small cap a?) is removed, thereby permitting the dome 22 to be moved over until the pipes 12 occupy the lateral enlargements 28. The ends 12"y of the pipe will then be carried sufficiently to one side to permit the tubes 2G to be witl'idrawn, whenthe dome 22 can be lifted bodily, the tubes 12 passing through Owing to the' After and while two bul-'ners are shown. one onlymay be'used, orthree. four or more may be grouped together. Then a plurality is used. adjacent bm'ners should be separated by a partition 2Q". This is ot service when only one jet is burned as it aids greatly in mut'- flingr the noise.

The slots 1l serve also to--supply air to the burners. the plate l() being loosely surrounded by the` bottom ot the furnace so that air can enter aroundy the sides ot thel oil pipe passing` through said dome and having' an orifice,` discliargri'ng downwardly into said tube. means tor con-trolling; the flow oil:l Jfuel thr'ugh said orifice. and a plate held some distance below the bottom ot said dome'7 said dome resting;lr upon said plate and having an opening through which said tube and oil pipe pass. said tube being removable therefrom to permit said oil pipe toY pass through the openin.
